DISPLAY-BOX FOR NECKWEAR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 760,431, dated May 24, 1904.

Application filed August 9, 1902.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM R. DELANEY, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Display-Boxes for Neekwear, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to display-boxes especially adapted for the reception and display of neckwearof the class known as Teck scarfs; and its object is to provide a box for the purpose stated which may be manufactured at small cost and will effectively serve to support the scarfs in proper position.

Heretofore packing and display boxes for scarfs have been provided with partitions conforming to the contour of the scarfs; but such boxes are objectionable for the reason that the pasteboard partitions are each formed separately and separately secured to the bottom of the box. The presentinvention avoids the objection referred to by constructing all of the dividing-partitions of the box from a single integral blank of pasteboard or other suitable material, which is folded and pasted to form connected partitions, thus enabling all of said partitions to be placed within the box at the same time and secured to the bottom thereof.

The construction of the improvement will be fully described hereinafter in connection with the accompanying drawings, which form part of the specification, and its novel features will be particularly set forthin the appended claims.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a plan view of a blank from which the box-partitions are formed. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the blank after it is folded and pasted ready for attachment to the box; and Fig. 3 is a plan view of a box with the folded blank in position therein, the box-cover being removed.

Corresponding parts in all the figures are denoted by the same reference characters.

The reference-numeral 1 designates a blank of pasteboard of rectangular form formed with parallel longitudinal creases to form the top portion 2 and sides 3 and 4 of the partition and the edge flaps 5 and 6, by means of which the partitions are secured to the bot- Serial No. 119,105. (No model.)

tom of the box. The blank is also formed with creases 7 at right angles to the longitudinal creases and is slitted transversely at the points 8 between the creases to form flaps 9. At the points 10 the blank is cut out to form openings having oppositely-inclined walls .11, and the top section 2 is slitted diagonally adjacent to the inclined walls of the openings to form triangular flaps 12 on the tops of the flaps 9. The side portion 4 of the blank is formed with parallel slits to form tongues 13. The blank constructed as thus shown and described is folded in the manner now to be explained to form the partitions. The sides 3 and i are folded down to vertical position, the triangular flaps 12 are folded down to horizontal position, the flaps 9 folded around to vertical diagonal position, bringing the flaps 12 under the horizontal tops 2, to which they are secured by adhesive material to secure the vertical diagonal flaps in position. The edge flaps 5 and 6 are then folded to horizontal position for attachment to the bottom of the box. The tongues 13 are also folded to horizontal position, with their free ends projecting slightly under the adjacent edge of the securing-flap 5. The entire attachment is secured to the bottom of the box by adhesive material applied to the under surface of the flap 6 and by eyelets 14, inserted through the edge of the flap 5 and the ends of the tongues 13.

It will be observed that all of the several partitions (four being shown. in the drawings) are formed from a single blank and that said partitions are all placed in the box at the same time and secured thereto.

The number of partitions may be varied, as of course the invention is not restricted to the number shown, and the construction of the blank may be modified to provide any de sired number of partitions, the essential feature being that inelin ed sides are provided between the partitions to conform to the shape of the upper ends of the scarfs.

The important advantages of the improvement are that a complete attachment is provided from a single blank with little labor and a trifling waste of material and that the same may be secured in place within the box with much less work and in less time than is required for adjusting and securing the ordinary separate disconnected partitions.

I Would have it understood that the invention includes not only the specific construction shown in the drawings, but also all such changes and modifications thereof as may fall Within the terms and scope of the following claims.

Having thus described my invention, I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. An attachmentfor neckWear-boxes, comprising a series of partitions formed from a single blank and having horizontal edge flaps, vertical sides, horizontal tops and vertical diagonal flaps having horizontal flaps on their upper edges connected to the tops, substantially as described.

2. An attachment'forneckwear-boxes, comprising a series of partitions formed from a single blank and having horizontal edge flaps, vertical sides, horizontal tops, vertical diagonal flaps having horizontal flaps on their upper edges connected to the tops, and horizontal tongues between the partitions connecting the edge flaps, substantially as described.

3. An attachment for neckwear-boxes, comprising a series of partitions formed from a single blank and having horizontal edge flaps, vertical sides, and horizontal tops, said sides along one side of the partitions having vertical diagonal flaps, substantially as described.

4:. An attachment for neckwear-boxes, comprising a series of partitions formed from a single blank and having horizontal edge flaps, vertical sides, and horizontal tops, said sides along one side of the partitions having vertical diagonal flaps provided With horizontal flaps on their upper edges connected to the tops, substantially as described.

5. An attachment for neckWear-boXes, comprising a series of partitions formed from a single blank and having horizontal edge flaps, one of said edges having horizontal tongues between the partitions connected to the other edge, vertical sides, and horizontal tops, said sides along one side of the partitions having vertical diagonal flaps, substantially as described.
